| Bioactivity | CMS-121 is a quinolone derivative and an orally active acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1) inhibitor. CMS-121 protects HT22 cells against ischemia and oxidative damage with EC50 values of 7 nM and 200 nM, respectively. CMS-121 has strong neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidative and renoprotective activities[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
| Target | Acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1) | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | CMS-121 (1 µM; 4 hours; HT22 cells) treatment increases the phosphorylation of ACC1 at serine 79. CMS-121 can increase acetyl-CoA in cells[1]. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | CMS-121 (~20 mg/kg; oral administration; daily; for 4 months; female SAMP8 mice) treatment reduces cognitive decline as well as metabolic and transcriptional markers of aging in the brain when administered to rapidly aging SAMP8 mice. CMS-121 preserves mitochondrial homeostasis by regulating acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) metabolism[1]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
